With each other what we have to do it really carefully and with a planned strategy or were going to end up in a situation where its going to snap back on all of us and were going to be right back where we are now. Socially distancing from one another in a more extreme way so i think what really needs to happen over the next several weeks and months is that states really should be opening up slowly and considerably with very consistent metrics.

So i dont want you to hide behind the City Attorney, i want to know why you havent issued a health order requiring intervention on the basis of Public Health facility. You just shutdown the entire economy of San Francisco, and you were willing to do that, and i stood by you, and i stand by you in that decision.
